Student   Government   Birthday. 

The  fifth  anniversary  of  our  Student 
Government  Association  was  celebrated 
on  Tuesday  afternoon,  March  sixth,  by  a 
rousing  mass  meeting  in  College  Hal 
Chapel. 

Both  students  and  Faculty  attended  in 
large  numbers,  and  the  atmosphere  of  the 
entire  audience  was  most  enthusiastic. 
The  speakers  for  the  afternoon  were  Dean 
Pendleton,  Miss  Davis,  Mary  Leavens 
Sally  Eustis  and  Mr.  Hardy.  The  meeting 
opened  with  the  singing  of  Alma  Mater, 
and  that  in  itself  was  inspiring, — the  repre- 
sentative groiip  on  the  platform,  the 
seniors  in  cap  and  gown  Scattered  through 
the  audience,  the  older  members  of  tHe 
Faculty,  here  and  there,  and  the  vigorous 
enthusiastic  body  of  undergraduates — all 
singing  Alma  Mater,  with  all  their  hearts. 
Miss  Eu.stis  introduced  first  Mary  Lea- 
vens, our  "Mother  of  Student  Govern- 
ment," and  there  was  an  uproar  of  ap- 
plause which  lasted  for  some  minutes. 
before  she  could  speak.  Miss  Leavens  began 
by  saying  that  the  reason  why  an  Alumna 
may  presume  to  speak  to  undergraduates, 
and  why  they  should  listen,  is  that  they 
have  in  common  the  love  for  their  college 
and  that  the  alumna  has  the  advantage  of 
distance  in  point  of  view,  and  of  added 
experience,  which  enables  he/"  to  see  col- 
lege life  in  a  true  perspective,  adjusted  to 
its  natural  place  in  the  total  of  experiences. 
Miss  Leavens  compared  the  best  love  of 
college  to  love  of  one's  country,  and  em- 
phasized the  value,  as  a  preparation  for 
citizenship,  of  being  consciously  self-gov. 
erning.  For  the  democratic,  liberty-lov- 
ing principles  of  our  Student  Government 
are  closely  akin,  though  on  a  miniature 
scale,  to  those  of  our  nation.  The 
real  cause  for  that  petition  for  Student 
Government,  was  the  recognition  of  the  in- 
dividual's desire  and  need  to  work  out  her 
share  in  the  government  of  the  college.  It 
was  ennobled  by  an  unspoken  self-respect 
and  there  was  no  petty  element  of  a  desire 
on  the  part  of  the  students  to  have  their 
own  little  way.  The  petition  was  granted 
squarely  though  the  trustees  and  Faculty 


could  not  know  whether  the  responsibility 
would  be  taken — "lightly,  indiscreetly 
perfunctorily  or  sanely  and  earnestly." 
They  had  faith  however  or  they  would 
never  have  granted  it  Miss  Leavens 
then  made  a  grave  and  thought-compelling 
indictment:  "The  question  faces  you  to- 
day— How  have  you  borne  the  test?  The 
answer  is  to  be  found  only  in  the  sum  of 
the  honest  confessions  you  make.  Put  the 
question  to  yourself:  find  what  your  rela- 
tion is  to  this  great  though  small  system 
of  government,  and  if  you  find  it  unlovely, 
resolve  that  you  will  make  that  relation 
right.  Leave  undone  the  things  that 
weaken  the  life  at  Wellesley.  Do  the 
things  that  strengthen  it  and  make  it 
excellent  The  right  interpretation  of 
Student  Government  depends  upon  the 
true  conception  of  life.  It  behooves  each 
of  us  to  rememfce*1  *hat  the  on?  thing  we 
must  do  is  to  move  on  with  the  rest  of 
humanity,  finding  our  place  in  the  ranks, 
and  letting,  as  some  one  has  said — "the 
great  forces,  wise  of  old,  have  their  full 
way  with  us.  "A  vcrv  humble  interpreta- 
tion of  "noblesse  oblige"  should  be  our 
motto.  It  is  because  I  believe  Student 
Government  to  be  one  essential  means  of 
training  students  in  college  to  live  the 
larger  human  life,  that  I  speak  of  the  gen- 
eral subject  here." 

Miss  Leavens  went  on  to  say  that  though 
Matthew  Arnold  warns  the  person  seeking 
culture  against  the  moral  struggles  pi 
Hebraism,  there  is  great  danger  in  Hel- 
lenism. Handicapped  by  hereditary  ten- 
dencies, weaknesses  of  will  and  moral 
and  intellectual  diseases,  it  is  not  safe  to 
eliminate  from  college  life  that  moral 
struggle  which  is  conducive  to  moral 
earnestness 

"Let  not  your  Student  Government  be 
a  skillfully  managed  mechanism,  but  let  it 
be  vitalized  by  each  one  of  you  with  pur- 
pose, with  zeal  and  with  faith." 

Miss  Leavens  spoke  very  practically  of 
our  attitude  toward  our  college  neighbor. 
"Sometimes  you  have  a  diamond  in  the 
rough,  and  sometimes  a  real  boor.  Be  pa- 
tient with  her  in  either  case,  and  share  un- 
obtrusively with  her  your  better  judgment 
In  doing  that  sort  of  thing  you  live  in 
a  real  Student  Government."  While  Miss 
Leavens  gives  recognition  to  the  harmful- 
ness  of  the  superficial,  flighty,  slangy  girl 
in  college  life,  she  feels  that  the  serious 
menace  to  our  Student  Government  lies  in 
the  apathetic  class.  Indifference  is  the 
vital  danger  and.  must  be  done  away  by 
enthusiasm. 

If  this  apathy  is  due  to  an  overcrowded 
life — better  to  rearrange  the  system, 
even  to  the  exclusion  of  some  features, 
which,    though    good    in    themselves,    are 


not  essential  to  the  general  need  of  the 
college.  The  trouble,  as  Miss  Li 
thinks  back  to  her  own  college  years  "lays 
not  so  often  in  the  nature  of  the  things 
we  did,  as  in  the  lack  of  judgment  with 
which  we  entered  into  them."  In  her 
final  appeal  Miss  Leavens  said — "Enter 
unselfishly  into  the  real  meaning  of  student 
life;  discover  the  true  relation  of  the  little 
duties  of  every  day  to  the  general  life,  and 
be  patiently  faithful  in  performing  them; 
be  rarely  scornful,  and  flippant  seldom; 
be  honest  in  your  response  to  the  demands 
made  on  you  by  the  institution;  and  be 
loyal  to  your  Student  Government  by 
acting  always  as  if  you  respected  it  by 
fulfiling  its  obligations.  In  doing  these 
things  you  will  ccme  to  the  compelling 
and  satisfying  consciousness  of  your  real 
need  of  the  college,  and  of  her  real  need  of 
you. " 

Miss  Eustis  introduced.  Miss  Pen 
as  a  member  of  the  Fa<  ultv  who  had  signed 
the  Agreement.  Miss  Pendleton  began 
her  speech  in  a  rather  terrifying  manner  by 
quoting  Lewis  Caroll — "The  time  has  come 
the  wain's  said,  to  speak  of  many  thinr  s." 
But  the  "many  things,"  while  they  were 
severe,  and  in  some  cases  unpleasant. 
were  softened  by  the  fact  which  she  reiter- 
ated, that  she  believes  thoroughly  in  our 
Student  Government,  feels  that  we  have 
made  great  progress,  and  believes  that 
we  are  still  trying,  and  hVhting  against 
the  weakness  of  the  flesh.  Miss  Pendleton 
emphasized  our  lack  of  present  earnestness 
and  efficiency,  referred  to  such  glaring  and 
concrete  examples  as  the  special  system  of 
proctoring  which  had  to  be  maintained 
curing  midyears,  and  impressed  upon  us 
the  fact  that  there  must  ccme  a  change — 
that  we  must  gain  new  enthusiasm,  espe- 
cially as  there  is  always  locrring  up  the 
dread  possibility  of  the  withdrawal  of 
our  charter. 

Miss  Davis  as  the  Head  of  Houses  spoke 
of  present  conditions  in  the  Halls  of  Resi- 
dence. She  emphasized  the  importance 
and  responsibility  of  the  position  of  Stu- 
dent House  Presid'ent,  and  said  that  though 
each  had  the  sympathy,  and  whenever 
possible,  the  assistance  of  the  Heads  of 
Houses,  she  considered  it  a  very  trying  pos- 
ition. This  could  be  relieved  to  a  great  ex- 
tent by  a  more  automatic  system  of  proc- 
toring If  girls  would  only  proctor  them- 
selves, if  they  would  only  remember  them- 
selves, and  manifest  some  degree  of  the 
same  refinement  and  restraint  that  they 
are  accustomed  to  in  their  own  hemes,  our 
House  Presidents  would  not  be  over- 
worked and  the  corridors  of  our  Houses 
would  cease  to  resemble  either  bowling- 
alleys  or  gymnasiums.

Student   Government   Birthday. 

Mr.  Hardy  spoke  for  the  Board  of 
Trustees.  He  referred  to  the  warm  com- 
mendation with  which  the  petition  for 
Student  Government  had  been  forwarded 
to  the  Board  by  the  Faculty,  and  said 
that  there  had  never  been  occasion  for 
regretting  the  action.  He  likened  our 
Government  to  the  Russian  system,  where 
the  charter  can  be  withdrawn  at  any  time 
when  it  seems  necessary,  but  he  assured 
us  that  he  did  not  for  a  moment  think  that 
snch  a  thing  would  ever  come  about. 

Miss  Helen  Cook.  1905,  Vice-President 
of  the  Association  last  year,  spoke  from 
the  floor.  She  considered  especially  the 
the  question  of  whether  Student  Govern- 
ment is  worth  while  from  the  student 
officers'  point  of  view  and  decided  that  it 
was.  most  emphatically.  While  the  or- 
ganizing and  beginning  in  these  five  years 
has  been  an  undertaking  requiring  an 
immense  outlay  of  time,  in  some  cases, 
that  is  now  a  thing  of  the  past,  and  the 
field  which  remains  to  the  officers  lies  in 
responsibility  and  executive  work.  These 
she  considers  as  the  most  developing  and 
broadening  influences  of  her  student  life 
and  she  feels  that  they  must  prove  so  for 
any  girl.  She  tirged  upon  us  the  impor- 
tance of  lightening  the  officers'  routine 
work  as  much  as  possible,  by  assuming 
our  share  of  the  responsibility  and  making 
it  truly  a  co-operative  Student  Govern- 
ment.

of  Bishop  Gibson  who,  away  down  south, 
had  been  deeply  impressed  and  gratified 
at  hearing  of  our  Self-Government,  be- 
cause of  the  splendid  possibilities  and  re- 
sults which  he  felt  must  spring  from  it. 

Miss  Marion  Bosworth,  1907,  urged  the 
importance  of  having  some  definite  rally- 
ing day,  on  which  we  should  have  brought 
home  to  us  with  especial  keenness,  the 
privilege  which  this  Student  Government 
of  ours  constitutes. 

f  Miss  Vena  Batty.  1900,  spoke  of  how  in 
the  early  days  of  the  Association  the  girls 
all  said  Student  Government,  with  the  em- 
phasis of  interest  and  attention  on  the 
student,  but  that  as  the  years  passed  and 
the  novelty  wore  off  it  had  come  to  be 
Student  Government,  the  main  thought 
being  the  repressing  and  governing  power 
of  the  Association.  And  she  urged  a 
return  to  the  spirit  of  those  early  days 
which  impelled  the  girls  spontaneouslv 
and  uncouncsiosly  to  phrase  it  Student 
Government. 

Although  it  was  hoped  that  other 
students  might  have  an  opportunity  to 
speak,  the  lateness  of  the  hour  marie  it 
impossible  and  Miss  Eustis  adjourned 
the  meeting  by  reading  letters  from  Miss 
Hughes,  1902;  Miss  Lord,  1903  and  Miss 
Hutsinpillar,  1904.  A  letter  from  Miss 
Poynter,  1905,  was  on  its  way,  but  did 
not  arrive  in  time.  Then  the  audience 
rose  and  with  an  enthusiasm  and  earnest- 
ness, which  it  seemed,  must  promise  well 
for  the  results  of  this  stirring  mass-meeting, 
they  gave  the  long  Wellesley  cheer  for 
Student      Government     and      then      for

MUSIC   NOTES. 


Wellesley  music-lovers  had  the  pleasure  of  listening  to  a 
very  enjoyable  concert  given  on  the  evening  of  March  5  by  the 
Hoffmann  Quartette.  The  soprano  soloist  who  had  been  ad- 
vertised to  appear  did  not  do  so,  on  account  of  the  shortage  of 
the  Concert  inind,  due  to  insufficient  patronage  by  the  college 
public.  Those,  however,  who  have  attended  the  series  of  ar-

A  HOSPITAL  FOR  WOMEN    IN  GUAM. 


How  many  people  in  Wellesley,  T  wonder,  know  anything 
about  the  island  of  Guam? 

A  little  speck  in  the  Pacific  Ocean,  live  thousand  lonely 
miles  from  our  California  coast,  this  little  island  is  our  smallest 
colonial  possession.  Thirty-two  miles  long  and  averaging 
about  six  and  a  half  wide,  it  is  the  home  of  eleven  thousand 
Chamorros,  a  kindly,  courteous,  brown-skinned  race,  religious, 
self-respecting  and  industrious,  but  living  and  working  under 
the  most  primitive  conditions  and  suffering,  the  hardships 
of  a  most  pitiful  ignorance  and  neglect.  The  Spaniards  worked 
hard  to  save  their  souls  and  taught  them  to  be  God-fearing 
and  docile,  but  did  little  or  nothing  for  their  bodily  welfare. 
In  all  the  centuries  of  Spanish  occupation  nothing  more  than 
a  sort  of  apothecary  was  in  existence  to  care  for  the  sick  among 
the  Spanish  garrison  and  the  natives  alike. 

When  the  island  was  turned  over  to  ou.r  government,  a  new 
policy  was  inaugurated  under  the  guidance  of  the  medical 
officers  of  the  United  States  Navy,  stationed  in  Guam  These 
true  missionaries  have  cared  for  the  sick  natives  in  their  homes, 
going  to  them  day  and  night  at  call,  and  since  1902  have  had  a 
small  hospital  of  two  wards,  where  United  States  soldiers 
and  native  men  can  be  properly  cared  for.  and  where  a  1 
number  of  out-patients  come  regularly  for  aid  and  medical  at- 
tention. 

Until  about  a  year  ago,  however,  there  was  no  place  in  the 
island  where  a  single  woman  or  child  could  receive  proper 
care  in  serious  illness.  As  a  result  an  appalling  proportion 
(about  a  third)  of  new-born  babies  and  their  mothers  die, 
simply  from  unsanitary  conditions  and  lack  of  any  place  where 
the  simplest  operations  can  be  performed  with  any  hope  of 
freedom  from  infection  and  blood-poisoning. 

The  Chamorro  house  of  the  lower  class  is  practically  a  one- 
roomed  affair.  Across  one  end  a  light  partition  is  thrown, 
forming  a  sort  of  alcove,  where  the  one  bed  is  placed.  Usually 
the  father  and  mother  of  the  family  occupy  that  alcove,  but 
children,  aunts,  sisters,  brothers,  cousins,  grandparents,  some 
times  to  the  number  of  twenty,  sleep  on  mats  on  the  floor  of  the 
small  outer  room.,  from  which  all  night  air  is  most  rigorously 
excluded.  In  these  houses  the  most  terribly  unsanitarv  con- 
ditions prevail,  together  with  the  most  qhcolute  ignorance  zf 


their  significance  and  dangers.  The  water,  for  example,  which 
sick  and  well  alike  must  use  for  both  drinking  and  washing, 
is  pcisonc  d  from  shallow  wells  into  which  sweeps  the  drainage  of 
foul  grounds.  As  yet  all  appeals  to  the  Home  Government 
for  the  fifty  thousand  dollars  necessary  to  give  a  drainage 
system  to  the  town  of  Agana  (where  seven  thousand  out  of  the 
eleven  thousand  islanders  live)  have  been  vain.  Such  are  the 
conditions. 

About  a  year  ago.  the  united  efforts  of  the  Island  Govern- 
ment, the  medical  officers  of  the  Naval  Station,  and  the  Amer- 
ican women  in  Guam,  under  the  leadership  of  the  wife  of  the 
governor,  succeeded  in  establishing  a  small  hospital  of  twelve 
beds  for  women  and  children. 

The  medical  officers  of  the  station  give  their  services,  the 
wife  of  one  of  these  officers,  herself  a  trained  nurse,  has  under- 
taken the  training  of  a  corps  of  native  nurses  (a  calling  for 
which  the  native  women  show  much  aptitude)  and  the  native 
inhabitants  are  giving  what  help  they  can  in  the  way  of  sup- 
plying food,  etc  ,  for  the  nurses  and  patients.  But  for  the 
proper  equipment  of  the  hospital,  surgical  instruments,  etc., 
and  for  money  to  run  it ,  help  n.t  st  be  had  from  outside,  and  it 
is  hoped  that  the  Wellesley  eirls  will  wish  to  lend  a  hand. 

One  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  will  si  ppcrt  a  bed  fcr  three 
years,  and  if  the  hospital  can  maintain  itself  and  prove  its 
usefi  lness  for  three  years,  an  endowment  of  $30,000  has  been 
promised,  which  will  entirely  support  it  henceforth  without 
the  need    of  any  begging. 

Can  we  not  raise  $150  and  support  one  bed?  Every  little 
helps.  Julia  Swift  Orvis.

ALUMN/E   NOTES. 

In  addition  to  notes  concerning;  graduates,  the  Alumnae 
Column  will  contain  items  of  interest  about  members  of  the  Fac- 
ulty, past  and  present,  and  former  students. 

Associate  Professor  Scudder,  with  her  mother,  sailed  the 
last  of  February  for  Genoa.  Miss  Scudder  expects  to  spend 
several  months  in  Siena,  engaged  in.  writing. 

Mrs.  Ada  Wing  Mead,  i886;  and  Mrs.  Emily  Meader  Easton, 
1 89 1,  the  President  and  Vice-president  of  the  Alumnae  Asso- 
ciation, have  recently  spent  several  days  at  Wellesley,  mak- 
ing arrangements  for  the  meeting  of  the  Association  at  Com- 
mencement. 

"The  Three  Fates,"  a  story  by  Miss  Florence  Converse, 
T893,  which  appeared  in  the  Atlantic  for  September,  1905,  has 
been  dramatized  by  the  author  and  was  recently  presented 
at  Hull  House.  The  story  was  recast  in  dramatic  form  at  the 
wish  of  Miss  Addams  and  her  associates  at  Hull  House,  who 
felt  that  it  contained  a  message  for  the  working  people.  Some 
extracts  from  the  very  appreciative  notices  given  the  play  in 
the  Chicago  papers  will  be  made  in  the  Magazine. 

Mrs.  Lucia  Gale  Barber  announces  a  reading  at  The  Tuil- 
eries,  270  Commonwealth  avemie,  Boston,  March  twentieth, 
when  she  will  give  "The  Clouds  of  the  Sun,"  a  poetic  drama 
by  Miss  Isabella  Howe  Fiske,  1906. 

An  interesting  short  article,  "Geography  and  'College  Eng- 
lish,' "  by  Dr.  Martha  Hale  Shackford,  1896,  appeared  in  the 
February  number  of  Education.  Dr.  Shackford's  concrete 
illustrations  of  the  correlation  possible  between  geography  and 
"College  English"  will  be  very  suggestive  to  the  teacher  of 
English  in  secondary  schools. 

The  Managing  Editors  of  the  News  and  Magazine  request 
those  of  the  Alumnae  who  have  not  already  paid  their  sub- 
scription to  send  the  amount  due  as  soon  as  possible.  An 
effort  is  being  made  to  settle  the  accounts  of  the  board  at  an 
early  date,  and  the  help  of  each  Alumna  subscriber  will  be 
appreciated. 

The  delegates  from  Wellesley  to  the  International  Conven- 
tion of  the  vStudent  Volunteer  movement  had  the  pleasure  of 
meeting  at  Nashville,  Miss  L.  W.  Johnson,  1879-1882,  President

The   Nashville   Student   Volunteer  Convention. 


On  Saturday  afternoon,  February  24,  the  Wellesley  dele- 
gation to  the  Student  Volunteer  Convention  lei*'  for  Nashville. 
The  Ontario,  the  newest  and  largest  ship  of  the  Merchants' 
and  Miners'  Line,  carried  us  from  Boston  to  Norfolk,  together 
with  the  Harvard  delegation,  and  several  small  parties  of 
representatives  from  smaller  colleges.  The  trip  was  a  pleas- 
ant one;  but  the  most  enjoyable  part  of  it  was  the  day  spent 
in  Chattanooga.  Tennessee,  a  twenty-four  hours'  rail  journey 
from  Norfolk.  Here  we  visited  the  scenes  of  the  well-known 
and  bloody  battle  of  Chickamauga,  and  ascended  Lookout 
Mountain,  from  the  summit  of  which  seven  states  can  be  seen 
on  a  clear  day.  On  Wednesday,  February  28,  we  .arrived  in 
Nashville,  and  received  our  assignments,  most  of  us  to  homes 
where  we  were  received  with  proverbial  Southern  hospitality 
and  delightful  cordiality. 

On  Wednesday  afternoon,,  the  first  session  of  the  great  con- 
ference took  place.  It  was  held  in  the  Ryman  Auditorium,  a 
large,  semi-circular  hall  with  wonderful  acoustic  properties 
and  a  seating  capacity  of  between  four  and  five  thousand. 
When  filled  for  this  first  great  mass  meeting,  it  presented  a 
sight  impressive  in  the  extreme.  From  evorv  state  and  territory 
in  the  Union  and  from  every  province  in  Canada,  were  gath- 
ered representatives  of  the  educated  youth  of  this  continent 
to  participate  in  one  of  the  greatest  movements  of  the  age. 
On  the  platform  were  seated  many  of  the  most  prominent  leaders 
of  Protestant  missionary  work  of  to-day,  representatives  from 
almost  every  country  to  which  the  Gospel  of  Christ  has  been 
carried.  At  the  back  of  this  platform,  facing  the  audience, 
was  suspended  a  large  map  showing  the  religions  of  the  world 
'and  the  progress  of  evangelization,  and  above  it,  in  large  black 
letters,  the  words  which  form  the  motto  and  describe  the  pur- 
pose of  the  Student  Volunteer  Movement:  "The  Evangeliza- 
tion of  the  World  in  this  Generation."  Across  the  ceiling  were 
suspended  streamers  of  red,  white  and  blue,  while  around  the 
balcony  railing  were  draped  the  flags  of  the  many  nations  of 
Orient  and  Occident,  in  which  the  work  of  evangelization 
has  begun.  Even  in  the  decorations  the  keynote  of  the  whole 
conference  was  forcibly  struck — the  sense  of  the  magnificent 
enthusiasm  for  world-wide  brotherhood  and  fellowship  which 
was  the  impelling  power  of  the  convention 

The  meeting  was  opened  with  the  utmost  simplicity,  with- 
out preliminary  form  or  ceremony.  Five  thousand  voices 
joined  in  the  old  and  stirring  hymn,  "All  hail  the  power  of 
Jesus'  name,"  and  then,  after  the  Scriptitre  reading  and 
prayer,  John  R.  Mott,  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Board  of 
the  Student  Volunteer  Movement,  who  presided  at  all  the 
mass-meetings,  delivered  an  address.  He  spoke  of  the  vast- 
ness  of  the  movement  for  which  the  convention  stands,  ex- 
plained its  ideals  and  its  motto,  and  emphasized  the  need  for 
individual  purity  and  earnestness  in  this  opening  hour.  He 
was  followed  by  Robert  E.  Speer,  Secretary  of  the  Board  of 
Foreign  Missions  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  well-known 
to  Wellesley  audiences.  Mr.  Speer  followed  the  same  line  of 
thought,  making  an  earnest  and  very  impressive  appeal  for 
missionary  interest  and  activity  among  the  student  bodv. 

The  evening  conference,  held  again  in  the  Auditorium,  be- 
gan the  real  business  of  the  convention — the  presentation  of 
facts  concerning  missionary  opportunities,  needs,  and  ideals, 
"single  facts  to  shake  Christian  nations,"  to  quote  Mr.  Mott. 
Dr.  George  Robson  of  Edinburgh,  Moderator  of  the  United 
Free  Church  of  Scotland,  delivered  an  address  on  the  subiect, 
"The  Presentation  of  Christ  to  all  Mankind  the  Supreme 
Business  of  the  Church."  The  next  speaker  was  J.  Campbell 
White  of  Toronto,  Canada,  one  of  the  Secretaries  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Board  of  Foreign  Missions,  who  spoke  of  the  dreadfrl 
and  immediate  need  among  the  non-Christian  peoples — men 
and  women  who  live  in  degradation  and  misery  and  die,  one 

every   second   told   by   the  watch,   without   hope  of  release, 

the   particular  need   for   "fresh   lives  and   young  hopes,   com- 
bined  with    God's   maturity   of   purpose." 

Thursday  morning's  meeting,  held  in  the  Auditorium,  em- 
phasized the  world-wide  character  of  the  Student  Volunteer 
Movement.  Mr.  Mott  first  read  the  report  of  the  Executive 
Committee  for  the  year  1906;  the  next  speaker.  Dr.  Karl  Fries, 
of  the  University  of  Upsala,  Sweden,  gave  some  interest-

The  Nashville  Student  Volunteer  Convention. 

ins  facts  on  the  Vohmteer  Movement  in  European  Universities. 
Wilhelm  Gundert,  of  the  University  of  Tubingen,  Germany, 
spoke  of  the  progress  the  movement  has  made  in  that  country; 
a  report  from  Great  Britain  on  the  work  and  interest  there  was 
given  by  G.  T.  Manley,  Fellow  of  Christ's  College,  Cambridge; 
Miss  Una  M.  Saunders,  who  is  to  speak  later  in  the  ye; 
Wellesley,  voiced  the  need  of  women  in  foreign  fields,  and  Mr. 
W.  V.  Helm,  of  Japan,  home  tipon  his  first  furlough,  spoke 
briefly  on  the  situation  in  Japan. 

During  the  afternoon  sectional  conferences  were  held  in 
many  of  the  churches  of  Nashville,  each  treating  some  pi  rtic- 
ular  field,  the  work  done  there  and  the  special  needs  of  the 
people.  Thursday  evening  a  particularly  impressive  cere- 
mony was  made  a  part  of  the  program.  After  an  address  by 
Bishop  Gailor  of  Tennessee,  Robert  E  Spcer  spoke  in  a  con- 
vincing manner  on  "The  Inadequacy  of  the  Non-Christian 
Relieions  to  Meet  the  Needs  of  Men,"  answering  with  irre- 
futable logic  and  impressive  eaTnestness  one  of  the  common- 
est objections  to  foreign  missions.  After  this  address,  a  re- 
markable offering  of  subscriptions  was  taken  up,  the  audience 
continuing  all  the  while  in  silent  prayer;  the  pledges,  each  for 
a  stated  amount  to  be  paid  for  the  next  four  years,  varied 
from  one  dollar  to  three  thousand  dollars  annual  subscrip- 
tion,— the  total  reached  nearly  ninety  thousand  dollars. 

Friday  morning's  conference  was  of  a  very  practical  char- 
acter; speakers  from  England  and  Scotland  as  well  as  from 
all  parts  of  America,  treated  various  sides  of  the  general  sub- 
ject— the  requisites  of  a  missionary— taking  up  the  physical, 
intellectual  and  spiritual  equipment  needed  for  success  in 
foreign  fields.  Friday  afternoon's  sectional  conferences  were 
concerned  with  different  phases  of  mission  work — principally 
what  is  accomplished  by  the  educational,  medical  and  evan- 
gelistic  methods. 

Fridav  evening's  mass  meeting  was  from  one  point  of  view 
unusually  interesting;  it  showed  with  great  force  how  the  whole 
world  had  been  laid  under  requisition  to  find,  the  most  effective 
and  authoritative  speakers  on  each  phase  of  the  subject.  Sir 
Mortimer  Durand,  the  British  Ambassador,  gave  the  views  of 
a  great  diplomat,  endorsing  the  Volunteer  Movement;  Gen. 
John  W.  Foster,  formerly  Secretary  of  State,  spoke  along  the 
same  line,  and  J-  A.  MacDonaid,  editor  of  the  Toronto  Globe. 
made  a  stirring  address  on  the  attitude  of  the  press  toward 
so  vital  a  part  of  contemporary  religious  life. 

Saturday  morning's  session  treated  the  necessity  of  faithful 
and  enthusiastic  support  from  the  home  base  of  supplies,  and 
the  relation  of  minister  and  layman  to  it.  Saturday  after- 
noon's section  meetings  treated  foreign  missions  from  the  sec- 
tarian point  of  view,  reporting  the  work  done  by  each  borrd 
Saturday  evening's  conference  presented  ■with  compelling 
force  the  unprecedented  opportunities  of  the  present  day  ifi 
every  unevangclized  field:  rind  it  drove  horre  to  each  indi- 
vidual the  vital  need  for  all  possible  support, — for  life  itself, 
in  the  great  work  of  carrying  the  Gospel  to  all  the  world. 

Sunday  morning  the  delegates  assembled  in  the  Auditorium 
again,  and  addresses  were  delivered  by  Bishop  Thoburn  of 
Calcutta,  a  worker  in  Africa  for  forty-seven  years,  and  by 
Bishop  McDowell  of  Chicago  In  the  afternoon  a  final  appeal 
was  made  to  each  delegate  to  consider  once  more  the  ques- 
tion, "Why  should  I  not  go  to  the  foreign  field7"  A  corr- 
pelling  emphasis  was  placed  upon  the  "not";  no  less  was  the 
individual  force  felt  by  the  emphasis  upon  the  pronoun.  There 
was  not  a  delegate  among  the  five  thousand  who  did  not  cor 
sider  the  matter  earnestly  and  prayerfully  and  think  it  through 
to  the  end. 

The  last  session  of  the  great  conference  was  devoted  partly 
to  the  reading  of  the  honor-roll — the  names  of  volunteers  who 
have  died  since  the  Toronto  convention  four  years  ago,  and  to 
the  reading  of  cablegrams  of  greeting  from  many  foreign  fields. 
Then  all  the  volunteers  under  appointment  to  s  il  ben  re  the 
end  of  this  year  were  requested  to  stand,  and  each  one  of  the 
one  hundred  odd  told  in  a  sentence  the  field  to  which  he 
going  and  why  he  went.  A  more  impressive  ceremony,  through 
its  very  simplicity,  cannot  be  imagined.  Robert  E.  Speer 
delivered  the  closing  address,  making  a  final  very  brief  appeal, 
and  with  the  five  thousand  earnest  voices  singing  the  Lutheran 
Battle  Hymn,  "A  Mighty  Fortress  is  our  God,"  the  great  con- 
vention   ended 

Too  much-can  hardly  be  said  for  the  way  in  which  the  con- 
vention was  condiicted;  the  question  of  the  service  of  Christ  in 
the  foreign  field  was  driven  home  to  each  person,  but  there 
was  no  working  upon  the  emotions.  Appeals  wrere made  to  the 
best  thoughts  and  noblest  ideals  of  each  heart;  but  each  indi- 
vidual was  left  to  think  the  matter  through  for  himself  and.  to 
determine  for  himself  his  relation  to  the  great  work  of  "The 
-Evangelization  of  the  World  in   this  Generation."       G.   D.

A    MEETING    OF    THE   CONSUMERS'    LEAGUE. 


A  meeting  of  the  National  Consumers'  League  was  held  in 
Steinert  Hall,  Boston,  Tuesday  evening,  March  6,  at  8  o'clock 
Addresses  were  made  by  John  Graham  Brooks,  the  President 
of  the  League,  Mrs.  Frederick  Nathan  and  Mrs.  Florence  Kel- 
lcv  of  New  York,  and  Mr.  Lovejoy. 

.Mr.  Lovejoy  stated  that  the  United  States  contained  the 
largest  army  of  wrage-earning  children  ever  produced  by  any 
civilization,  and  this  population  is  increasing.  At  present 
there  is  a  bill  being  introduced  asking  for  a  National  Labor  Bu- 
reau for  children.  Why  should  not  the  little  children  be  pro- 
tected as  scrupulously  as  are  our  forests,  rivers  and  beds  of 
lobsters  along  the  coast  of  Massachusetts? 

In  giving  the  objects,  they  said  that  primarily  the  League 
sought  to  secure  the  manufacture  of  goods  under  proper  con- 
ditions. This  is  accomplished  by  the  personal  responsibility 
of  each  member.  It  is  only  when  the  public,  the  consumers, 
demand  goods  made  under  proper  conditions  that  such  goods 
will  be  placed  upon  the  mark.
